Hi there! The Austin Convention & Visitors Bureau has a great list of accommodations. Very comprehensive. As for a specific recommendation - the library is located on the UT Austin campus. Anything near the university, downtown, or in central Austin will put you less than 20 minutes away. Thanks for thinking of us!
